Chapter 121: Go up the mountain to watch swords! Returning

The move of several people going up the mountain did not attract the attention of the watchers on the Looking Sword Terrace, because in this place full of pits and valleys, everyone was waiting for the final result of winning or losing.

The first battle showed things that almost made them sure that the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan's questioning trip this time was doomed to fail.

So the Questioning Dao Sect, the Mountain Sea Pavilion, and especially the Spirit Sword Mountain disciples, no one wanted to miss this scene.

At the same time, Ding Yao had already walked to the mountainside, and saw the sword forest was completely silent, emerald and lush.

Sunlight sprinkled through the gaps in the bamboo leaves, shining on the mottled ground, matching the silence here, making people feel very at ease.

The disciples in the mountain had all gone to watch the battle, and this kind of tranquility didn't make her feel strange.

She knew that the only ones left in the forest were a few disciples who were usually taciturn and only focused on cultivating Dao and didn't like liveliness.

Besides them, there was only that Ji You.

Ding Yao pondered and came to the edge of the forest, and saw another Elder named Yan Qingchi from Heavenly Jianfeng flying over, meeting Yan Ye who had rushed to this place from the Looking Sword Terrace.

"Isn't the questioning going on under the mountain...?"

"Gongshu Chou sent word, it shouldn't be a lie, so I took advantage of the end of the first match to come and take a look."

"The first match ended?"

"That Heavenly Tian Shuyuan direct disciple was slashed to the outside of the field..."

"This one in the forest..."

"It doesn't need to be too concerned, but it should be looked at after all."

Yan Ye and Yan Qingchi exchanged low-voiced conversations, then nodded to each other and walked out of the second forest.

And that disciple Huang Hui who had been following Yan Ye was standing outside the forest at this time, watching the two Elders enter the second forest, and was about to follow, but before his steps could be taken, a voice as pleasant as a silver bell rang in his ears.

"Senior Brother, long time no see."

Huang Hui turned and saw Ding Yao walking slowly, the corner of his mouth suddenly rising slightly: "So it is Yan Shimei Ding, it really has been a long time. But why did Yan Shimei also come here, could it be that you are also here to break through the sword forest?"

Ding Yao smiled and replied: "I had thought about breaking through before, but there have been too many things in the past few days, so it was delayed. I will try again after the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan disciples leave the mountain."

"Yan Shimei is now in the Realm of Profound Understanding, breaking through to the second forest should be no problem. That Yu Lin who just entered the Realm of Profound Understanding also used eight swords to pass 【Little Zhongshan】."

"That might not be the case, Senior Brother. Isn't there a Ji You in the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan, who used sixteen swords to pass 【Little Zhongshan】? My sword Dao talent is the same as his, also the ordinary kind."

Huang Hui's brows suddenly furrowed when he heard Ji You mentioned, and he was somewhat distracted for a moment.

Ding Yao didn't notice this, but was more curious about why Yan Ye went up the mountain this time, and opened her mouth again: "I have one thing unclear, I wonder if Senior Brother can solve my confusion?"

Huang Hui came back to his senses: "Yan Shimei, just say it."

"Today is the last battle of the questioning, and it is still your Heavenly Jianfeng direct disciple fighting. Elder Yan Ye, as an Elder of Heavenly Jianfeng, why did she suddenly leave at this time and come to the sword forest with you without a word?"

Huang Hui's smile suddenly faded, and after pondering for a moment, he raised his head: "Does Yan Shimei know that Ji You of the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan?"

Ding Yao was stunned, then nodded: "Naturally I know, I also went to the Qiling Ruins trip."

"How could I have forgotten this."

Huang Hui looked at Ding Yao: "That he used the cultivation of the completion of the Lower Three Realms to unite with Heavenly Tian Shuyuan disciples to beat back the Questioning Dao Sect and my Spirit Sword Mountain, and almost killed Gongshu Chou, is this not a lie?"

Ding Yao blinked, then nodded.

She was at the scene of that battle, and the six words 'beat back' and 'almost killed' were indeed not false.

But Spirit Sword Mountain people should all know that it was because there was evil Qi in the ruins suppressing spiritual essence, so she didn't know why Huang Hui brought up this matter again today.

"What does the two Elders going up the mountain have to do with Ji You?"

Huang Hui came back to his senses, his expression somewhat complex: "That Ji You in Yan Shimei's mouth, I don't know when he took on the 【Willow Liu Liu Se Xin】 of the second pass, and has now entered the third forest. I went down the mountain just now to report this matter to Elder Yan."

"?"

Ding Yao was slightly stunned, her eyes gradually widening.

Ji You took on 【Willow Liu Liu Se Xin】 and entered the third forest? How could this be possible.

She and Zhuo Wanqiu clearly came to the sword forest with Ji You the day before yesterday, knowing that he spent sixteen swords just on 【Little Zhongshan】.

It has only been one day, how could Ji You break through to the third forest.

Didn't Elder Yan Ye say that the second forest was the limit of the Realm of Profound Understanding, and judging by Ji You's performance in the first forest, he might not even see 【Willow Liu Liu Se Xin】.

And the killing intent of the second forest was indeed several times stronger than the first forest, having already trapped many Spirit Sword Mountain disciples.

The only one who took 【Willow Liu Liu Se Xin】 in the Realm of Profound Understanding was a direct disciple under another Elder of Heavenly Jianfeng, a Senior Brother named Su Tong, and he was already in the Upper Realm of Profound Understanding.

But even if it was the Upper Realm of Profound Understanding, it took seven days to pass the entire second forest.

Remembering that when asking them how many swords they used to pass 【Little Zhongshan】 the day before yesterday, that Senior Brother Su Tong also lectured about his experience of passing the second forest, and also answered without being asked about the matter of being slashed out after entering the third forest.

This matter was superficially Su Tong's self-deprecation, but in reality, it was a kind of showing off.

Because being able to enter the third forest in the Realm of Profound Understanding was already a very proud thing.

And that Ji You was a small realm worse than Senior Brother Su, yet at this moment he also entered the third forest.

Ding Yao was stunned for a long time before coming back to her senses, thinking to herself that although the Ji You in the middle Realm of Profound Understanding spent a bit more effort, he actually had about the same talent as Senior Brother Su in the Upper Realm of Profound Understanding.

It seems that he is indeed not as bad as she thought, comparable to an Elder's direct disciple, which is already a very remarkable thing...

"But even so, it is not worth Elder Yan Ye coming to walk a trip in person, right? No matter what, the questioning is still going on under the mountain."

Huang Hui nodded: "Yes, when I went down the mountain to report to Elder Yan for the first time, Elder Yan also said so. She said that Ji You has a reputation after all, so it is not strange to have some talent."

Ding Yao blinked: "Then why did Elder Yan Ye go up the mountain with you the second time? And Elder Yan Qingchi, why did he come too?"

"Because when I came back, I saw Senior Brother Gongshu coming out of the third forest, furrowing his face and asking me to report to Elder Yan, saying... saying that in a while, Ji You might see the 【Returning】 of the third pass."

"?"

At this time, Yan Ye and Yan Qingchi had already walked into the deeper and more emerald third forest.

Attacking head-on was whistling sword Qi, fast as lightning, constantly flying, the momentum was huge.

A streak of white figure constantly crisscrossed within it, leaning over to thrust the sword, the wildly overlapping sword waves sometimes sinking and sometimes pausing, sometimes vast and clear, slashing out ear-piercing clanging sounds with the wild sword Dao.

And here there were already two figures, one with a graceful figure and a cold expression, it was Yan Shujing who had just slashed and injured He Lingxiu yesterday.

Just like the discussion in the forest that day, Yan Shujing truly didn't take the questioning matter to heart at all.

After the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan disciples went up the mountain, she was still grinding her sword in the sword forest, and after defeating He Lingxiu, she came to the sword forest again the second day.

There was no so-called joy of winning, as if there was only sword Dao in her heart, only becoming stronger, and besides that, all things couldn't raise her interest.

Until she went to the fourth forest, passing through the third forest at this time, she couldn't help but stop her steps.

And the other person was Gongshu Chou, who was also standing at the edge of the third forest at this time, looking at the sword Qi crisscrossing, the white figure, his brows furrowed tightly.

Before going down the mountain yesterday, he saw Ji You breaking through the second forest, watched for a long time, and finally saw him always being slashed and flying away, so he lost interest.

By the time of this morning, he walked to the second sword forest and specifically took a look around.

He found that Ji You's figure was not there, so he thought that maybe it was because the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan lost the first battle, making him lose his mood, or knowing that the time was not enough, so he stopped tossing.

But what he didn't expect was that when he walked to the third forest, he found Ji You was in this place.

"Truly worthy of being the one who hurt me."

Gongshu Chou didn't feel surprised for long, and accepted the fact that Ji You broke into the third forest with that original reason.

Truly worthy of being the one who hurt me, the third forest that the Upper Realm of Profound Understanding can enter, why can't he enter?

But as time passed slowly, his brows furrowed into a ball at this moment, and his gaze became incomparably stern.

That sentence 'truly worthy of being the one who hurt me' seemed to have been unable to make his heart calm.

Hum hum hum—

Three sword hums rang out, the three-count split sword style of 【Returning】 in the third sword forest slashed along the forest ground, the swift aura like sea tides hitting the shore, stirring up a roll of wild sand.

Endless killing intent seemed to be about to overflow, fiercely slashing toward that white-robed youth facing it.

Subsequently, he saw that three-foot iron sword rising into the sky, hard-shaking the three swords amidst the overlapping waves, the aura in the sword forest dancing wildly.

With a 'whoosh', the scalding sword body at this time was like drawing water, the three streaks of sword Qi were killed and broken, the air waves dissipated, making that streak of white robes flutter incomparably wildly.

Seeing this scene, the few people in the forest all froze their hearts and held their breath.

Only to see that white-robed youth slashing and shattering the three swords without stopping, heading straight for the depths of the forest.

Subsequently, a streak of rising sword intent made the few people in the forest all couldn't help but feel a chill.

This was the guarding sword of the third sword forest, Returning.

At this moment, Yan Ye instantly furrowed her brows tightly, looking at the youth raising his sword, her eyes stunned.

Huang Hui went down the mountain twice just now. The first time was to report that Ji You had broken into the third sword forest. She was indeed very surprised after hearing it.

This had nothing to do with the matter of sixteen swords taking 【Little Zhongshan】, but because even Su Tong, who took 【Little Zhongshan】 with three swords, used seven days to walk out of the second forest.

She truly couldn't imagine why Ji You, who was originally judged to have extremely low sword Dao talent, could use one day to reach the third forest.

But seeing Ji You flying and slashing the third sword forest with her own eyes at this moment, she suddenly seemed to feel something.

The sword intent in every sword of this person was changing, and the change of sword intent also caused his sword style, sword moves, and sword Qi to change wildly.

But Yan Ye couldn't understand how a person could have different sword intent every time he swung his sword.

Just at this time, a streak of wild sword intent rose from the bamboo forest, just like a strong wind blowing, making them all couldn't help but tremble.

At this time, that white-robed youth looked up into the distance, swinging his sword toward that 【Returning】.

The four people at this time all felt the strong sword intent constantly boiling.

This sword intent was extremely complex, wildly rushing, simply not knowing where the sword was pointing, only caring about going forward.

Compared to the previous sword, his sword Qi momentum was fuller at this time, but it seemed the power was weaker.

Sword heart clear emphasizes cleanliness, and this youth's sword seemed to be going in the opposite direction.
